Registrar
Barbara McCann
I am pleased to acknowledge the success of the Engineering graduates of 0T8. Most of you began your time with us in 2004 — the same year that two NASA rovers successfully landed on Mars. When it comes down to it, it was engineers who made those landings possible, who allowed us new insight into a planet that has largely been a mystery And you, too, are on a new path of discovery, now having learned the skills that you need to begin your careers.
Wherever your future takes you — at home or abroad — take comfort in the fact that you will always be supported by the solid foundations you learned during your undergraduate studies in the Faculty. Not only will your education support your continued learning and professional careers, but the people you interacted with on campus, both students and faculty, will remain an important network of allies that you may depend upon throughout your life. Consider your Alma Mater an extension of the classrooms and buildings of this campus.
As Registrar of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineenng, I am in constant interaction with students. The Office of the Registrar is a hub of activity where students visit to consult staff and counselors; however, it must be stated that you, the students, have a similar impact on us. Your drive and ambition is contagious, thereby encouraging those around you, including myself, to strive for higher ground.
And your higher ground, whether you choose to go into graduate studies or start your career, will be one of your
choosing, but you will not be alone. As a graduate of U of T Engineering, you are in good company. Graduates of our Faculty continue to shape this country and the world at an amazing pace. Your years at U of T Engineering represent a great accomplishment, both professionally and personally, and I am grateful to be a part of this important occasion.

Business Manager
Barbara Ellenson
Here we are at the end ,of another busy year. It was a pleasure working with all the executive this year, especially Evan who seemed to be • attending multiple Finance meetings. Norman Goh pulled off a very successful Orientation and should be congratulated. Stores had another good year, continuing the trend . from last year of bringing in popular new products. Both Victor and Ariel worked very hard to keep Stores running smoothly.
This year we saw our StageBand grow to the point where it split into StageBand Blue and StageBand Gold. We also had the pleasure of listening to the Brass Quintet and the Jazz
Combo play in the Atrium at lunch. 1 particularly enjoyed the CESA Chinese New Year celebrations, Iranian New Year and Godiva Week activities that were all held in the Atrium. It is very satisfying to see students engaged in activities that enhance both their lives and those around them.
As well as being involved in activities, students also had a chance to socialize at the various club dinner dances, CannonBall and finally, GradBall, in a wonderful venue and with a great theme. The year was rounded off by a great SkuleNite, organized under very trying conditions by Steve Szeto.
And lastly, to those who are graduating, all the best and I’ll miss you, and to those returning, have a great summer and I'll see you in the fall. And just remember to enjoy life every day.

To all of my engineering friends: Thank you for such an awesome and exciting year! It certainly has been an active one, from hosting a Flroshnite with an attendance of over 4,500 people to raising over $5000 for charity during Godiva Week. Everything from our award winning design-teams and intramural sports teams, to the very talented musical groups and cultural clubs are a prime example of how dedicated our student volunteers have been over the last year. For these reasons, 1 was very proud to be a part of an organization based upon those I truly believe in, you, the undergraduate engineers at the University of Toronto.
This year in the Engineering Society we were able to work towards five common goals to motivate the organization of our events and activities - Improving the Engineering Society Participation, Image, Effectiveness, Communication and Support. Working together, we were able to see to the successful acquisition of much-needed student club space, the redesign of the atrium renovation project, the hosting of two ESSCO conferences, the formal investigation of a UTSU separation, a complete re-organization of EngSoc space and documentation, the creation of a new strategic planning and transitionstrategy, the development of new leadership programming, the Faculty rebranding, and the pending relationship with the SF Cafeteria. Wow. It’s been said that experience is often the most brutal of teachers, but you learn, and my
goodness have I learned! This said, 1 personally challenge everyone to expand their horizons and become involved in something they enjoy. One of the greatest things about U of T is the many opportunities to satisfy the diverse interests of our students.
There are many people that 1 would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to for what they have done to improve the student experience this year. First of all, thank you to the many leaders at our school - EngSoc directors, discipline club chairs, class reps, faculty reps, club/group presidents , and of course all of the passionate volunteers who stand by their side . Thanks to Dean Cristina Amon, Vice-Dean Grant Allen, Barbara McCann, Margaret McKone, and Susan McCahan with the faculty as well as Sonia DeBuglio and Luke Ng in the alumni office for their continued support of our initiatives, and taking time out of their busy lives to truly embrace the student perspective. Thank you to our office manager, Barb Ellenson for always being there for our support and making our lives easier. Last, but certainly not least, I’d like to thank my fellow officers - Evan Jones, Edward On, George Missios, Eamon McDermott, and Rob Jackiewicz. You've been a great source for inspiration, support and most importantly, friendship. To all of our volunteers, it is with sincere appreciation that I thank you - you make Skule™ a beautiful place to live, grow and prosper.
To those of you who have a few years left, I hope you are able to
take advantage of opportunity and experience everything that Skule™ has to offer. Don’t miss out on 50% of your education by going to 100% of your classes. University is always about balance; it’s just up to you to find it. To those of you who are graduating, best of luck in all your future endeavors. May your obligation upon honor and iron lead you to many wonderful opportunities because today more so than ever, engineers have a lot to offer. To the incoming executive of the Engineering Society - don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Venture off the beaten path, do some new exploring, and leave your own trail. Work hard, play hard, and most of all - have fun!

To use a highly proliferated and, if 1 may suggest, marginalized phrase, I can hardly believe the year-end has come so fast. But in all sincerity, 1 cannot believe this annual closure is upon us. As l write this quote in early February, one member of the Finance Comittee executive is working on a website that will organize the records and contacts of Skule™ Clubs, while a second is training their own VP’s Finance. A third has helped me formalize the structure of the Finance Committee, a welcoming, while efficient, tool for screening requests. The fourth has helped me distribute $600,000 in direct student funding for student laboratories. And all these are just students who have signed up to fuel a growing and ever more functional financial department for the Engineering Society - this has been something of my aspiration for this position, this year.
1 am similarly humbled by the contribution that Engineering Society Directors have made this year - individually, they have organized an almost $30,000 and $70,000 Cannonball and Gradball, respectively, run a $120,000 Orientation, and produced a $40,000 Skule Nite. Even so, the “EngSoc” Council and Finance Committee still found room to invest $35,000 in engineering clubs and another $40,000 in new initiatives and capital aquisitions.
If bylaws could talk, they might suggest that my official duties concern the safeguarding of physical and intellectual assets and the gatekeeping of the treasury; seeking the bold ingenuity and humanism my proud peers positively exude, I did much, much more. And this is nothing new - to quote Albert Einstein, “if I have seen far, it is by standing on the sholders of giants.” I have successfuly pushed and consolidated the borders of the internal and external financial systems of the Engineering Society, but it would have been utterly impossible without the multitudinous achievements of my most recent ambitious predecessors.
For posterity’s sake, 1 will list them here: Don McAuslan, Eamon McDermott, and Paul Radcliffe, thank you.
Managing the financials is something my appointees and I can manage. But overseeing the operations, another duty of mine, would similarly be impossible without the innumerable hours contributed by student volunteer directors. Nini and Cyrene seemed to have boundless energy and excitement in planning the dances. Ariel and Victor, and Jen and Charlsie, have worked tirelessly to keep the Stores and Pub running day-in and day- out. And of course Vinson brought you the colourful logos that decorate the “sponsorship” section of many of our deserving events. 1 have had the pleasure of overseeing these fantastic individuals this year. Chums, if any one of you did not deserve my elated thanks, I would not have recorded your name here.
By the way, the volunteers noted at the top of this quote are Supakorn Komthong, Jonathan Asmis, David Schacter, and Yang Wang. These finance committee executives are similarly fantastic and deserve my sincere appreciation.
So as I write this, this brisk February day, I stand on quite the vantage point of historical perspective. But in no direction is the view so spectacular as the future. The horizon awaits, and you reading this, you future EngSoc executives and engineering graduates, need merely let down your sails and catch the winds of proud tradition. And whether you are a student officehoder or a new engineer-in-trainmg, my advice is the same: leverage our bold, centuries- old history of engineering, continue to innovate and serve society, but most importantly, continue to learn!

What did I get myself into?
I asked myself this question many times after becoming VP Student Life. After all, while I was somewhat involved around Skule, commuting limited my options. 1 hadn’t even been to a council meeting before I got elected, and then all of a sudden, there 1 was - an officer in the Engineering Society at the University of Toronto. Wow. Things certainly have changed since that first day in Con Hall less than 3 years ago.
First off, to all the other officers, thank you for guiding my development as an EngSoc rookie at the highest level. It took some time, but I’ve become more confident in my knowledge and abilities, and 1 will be back in EngSoc in some form in the future.
Norman, Brandon and everyone involved with Flrosh Week: once again, you guys did a fantastic job. The two of you made my life hectic in August and September, but the
excitement of it all was well worth it. Additionally, to all the Flrosh who participated, it was your enthusiasm that made it a truly great thing to be a part of.
Stefano - your work as Blue and Gold chair this year has been great. Godiva Week was amazing, and your Homecoming float was a real spectacle.
Finally, to everyone else: it has been a pleasure working for you all. I hope that my work - whether in Flrosh Week, Godiva Week, or some lime throughout the year - has made your time here a little more bearable. It is the people that get involved in the Skule community that really make engineering worth while. 1 only hope that if you are around next year that you get involved and experience the true Skule spirit.

I would like to take a moment and reflect on my experience this year and at my time in Skule as a whole. No matter where you are in life Friendship is the sweetest influence. This is very true of the relationships that I have made in my role as Vice-President Communications and my time here at Skule.
It is through the cooperation between members of the Society that Excellence can be achieved. My role on the Engineering Society is to maintain different forms of communication, such as websites and publications, with the bulk of my work pertaining to the internal administration of the Society. Communication is a form of Knowledge. In my personal belief, Knowledge is better than rubies and we have been place here to pursue knowledge and achieve scholarship, in order to be a part of the upward march of humanity. Now l would like to briefly reflect on what I think is important for a leader. Though much of my work has been behind the scenes, the role of VP Communications has always been such. As VP Communication you have to be a leader that needs not to be appreciated but rather you must have a great sense of Service.
This is best describe by Lao Tzu, “A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.”
At this time 1 would like to that the Editors of our great publications for the hard work that they did this year. May you strive to achieve great things in the future. Next I would like to thank the Engineering Communications direct for making his position really matter in the course of this year. New this year is the website that I know the Webmaster has tried to achieve excellence through. I would also like to thank the Skulebook editor and his staff for putting together all of our memories so that we may cherish the year of 0T7-0T8. And finally I would like to that everyone who has passed through the doors of the School of Practical Science.

This has been one of the most exciting years of EngSoc history.
This year we had much more student input to our various portfolios through newly struck committees- Academics, Finance etc. - and I'm proud to have been a part of that initiative. The Academic portfolio is one that is often overlooked or is not visible in the students’ eyes. The background stuff we do — the day to day and new initiatives — hopefully make an impact in your academic careers. New initiatives like the PEY Meet & Greet in November, the postcards handed out at the beginning of the year and the Academics Committee are all meant to serve you better in your academic needs and raise awareness of the resources available to you. Remember to take advantage of them!
To my directors, you've done a fantastic job this year — whether it was the number of volunteers for our career fair, high school outreach activities or UTEK, they were all amazing. To my UTEK director who happens to be my sister, 1 know the amount of hard work you’ve put into it when you constantly bug me at home to discuss plans and goals for UTEK even when you have exams and tests- that goes to show that student involvement does not happen only at school,
but spills into our private lives at home as well.
You’ve all done an awesome job this year and you should be proud that you’ve served the students well. With that. I’d like to congratulate everyone on a successful year and best wishes for the upcoming year for the 1st to 3rd years, and to the 4th years, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Eamon MacDermott - ENGSCI 0T5 + 3
It's been an exciting year, and one in which I’m glad to have the chance to return to the Engsoc office. Spending a second year in my favourite SkuleTM haunt has given me another chance to work for this excellent organization and a chance to resume projects 1 left half finished as VP Finance. The experience I gained last time in office made stepping back into the role of Officer quick and painless, despite my late entry to the position (yay three elections!) I think it has also been an excellent opportunity to re- define the role of VP External, a position we haven’t had for a few years.
What has VP External been about? The communications! And that has meant meeting with countless other people, especially during conferences. I was elected just in time to attend New U, where we struck up a working relationship with Victoria that resulted in a social event in September. A solo trip out to Scarborough campus left me with some great ideas around office organization and student health care services. Ongoing struggles in communicating with UTSU (formerly SAC) have served a reminder of the value of maintaining this position. And a special invitation to meet the PEO during the summer has strengthened our relationship, and hopefully created a new avenue for our students to become involved in becoming licensed professionals.
Engineering conferences this year have been a blast, especially since we organized two of them ourselves (oh the modesty!). Big shout outs to Alaina and her team for organizing the ESSCO AGM, and to Jon Asmis and his team for putting together a PEO Student Conference with little to no time or supervision (damn 4th year is a busy one!) Ontario conferences such as NCWIE and ESSCO PM have been great examples of student relations at their peak, and 2008 Congress promises to be a critical moment in CFES history after the various shenanigans this year. Many thanks to all my conference delegates this year who have shown the
province and the country that SkuleTM is the place to be!
As a message especially for our grads, 1 would like to thank you all for the opportunity to work with you over your time at SkuleTM. As our school’s official “Old Man” (I’ve held a position each year since before you were F!rosh), I’m sure I’ve been either boring, annoying, or too interested in bureaucratic procedures at times But for all the effort Tve put over the past five years on Engsoc I hope I’ve been able to make a difference in your time at this university. The experience has certainly been once-m-a-lifetime for me, and I’d like to thank the many friends and colleagues I’ve made over the years for your support and understanding. Here’s to working with you again after graduation!

John Matienzo - COMP 1T0
What can 1 say, it has been an awesome year being the Skule™ Webmaster, fighting evil and defending the universe - the online universe that is. As webmaster, my responsibilities focused on managing the 80+ Skule™ subdomains, ensuring that the EngSoc Webserver’s uptime was >90%, maintaining the plasma screen, and updating Skule. Ca. Speaking of Skule. Ca...
My major project as webmaster this year was to create a new EngSoc website that is based on feedback from the members of the society. If you don’t know what Skule. Ca is, then all I can say is drop everything you're doing, log onto the nearest computer and go to http://skule.
ca. The website has everything you need to know about Skule and how to get involved.
Finally, 1 could have not made it through the year without the help from various people. First, I want to send out a thank you to all the former SkuleTM webmasters who have helped me: Paul Kishimoto (who helped me out tremendously on Skule. Ca), Sam Vafaee and Eamon McDermott. And a special thanks to the CompSys Admin, Steven Gurfinkel, whom I have been able to depend and count on throughout my term as Webmaster.
CompSys Admin
Steven Gurfinkel - COMP 0T8
This strategy of building computers with as many features and as much performance as possible without giving them the ability to overthrow civilization, know as “RISC” due to its high failure penalty will one day do us all in when some careless individuals try to push too much performance out of a design and mass-produce a malevolent chip.
Until that inevitable event though, it is my sworn duty to keep the engcom computers in line. As engcom is a rather large and sneaky local area network, with small computer uprisings that need to be crushed popping up all the time, administering it has been quite demanding, but I’ve had help. I’d like to thank Eamon McDermott, who’s helped every Computer Systems Administrator since the beginning of time with his encyclopaedic knowledge of everything electronic, and John Matienzo, the Webmaster, who’s been through the same crazy adventures that I have this year.
Being Computer Systems Administrator has been a lot of fun and as taught me a lot about how computers work and, perhaps more importantly, how computers break. I wish the future Computer Systems Administrators and users of the engcom computers the best of luck.
Hello everyone. As some nearby writing no
doubt already indicates, 1 am Steven Gurfinkel, the Computer Systems Administrator of the Engineering Society. This year, the plasma screen system was remade, various upgrades were performed, and we got new, blisteringly fast computers. Of course, once hooked up to engcom, they functioned at reduced speed, but this was still much faster than anything else that room had ever seen. We are also running Vista now, which turned out not to be a horrible catastrophe, so far.
In fourth year computer engineering, you learn that for the past 10 years or so, computers, if carelessly designed, have the capability to become self-aware, connect to one another, and conspire to enslave the human race. But would they really try to overthrow us? Yes, they would; one need look no further than the torture computers already put us through to be sure that they’d get us if they could.

ENGCOM CHAIR
Daryl Matis - ECE 1T0
It’s been yet another year of great articles and reviews. But lets not forget that it’s in EngCom that these articles are made. EngCom provides publications, clubs and committees with the latest tools and software to work with. The Toike, Cannon, Crumpled Paper, SkuleBook and Flrosh Handbook staff can be seen toiling' over the EngCom computers, often till late in the night, trying to meet their deadlines.
Over the years, EngCom has gone from being exclusively for publications, to being more accessible to clubs, committees and other directors. Committees often have their meetings in EngCom and for this purpose a website has been set up ( engcom. skule.ca) which has a scheduling system. If any publication or committee wants the room all for themselves for several hours, they can book the room online. With a
swipe card system in place, more people can have access to EngCom, while still maintaining privacy and security.
Since the beginning of my tenure, I have been adamant about restarting Publication Review meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to ensure that all the publications of the Engineering Society do not contradict with the Engineering Code of Ethics and do bring any liability to EngSoc. These meetings are also a great place to meet up with the editor and to brainstorm for any last minute ideas. My hope is that EngCom continues to expand and provide more services to the student body in the future.
Sponsorship
Vinson Kan - ELEC 0T9
It has been a great year for the Engineering Society’s sponsorship campaigns.
Events such as Flrosh Week, Cannonball, Gradball and Skule Nite have been sponsored by many generous companies and local businesses. Projects such as the revival of the Sponsorship website have been a great success and continues to aid clubs in getting their own sponsorship.
Also, with the aid of CU Advertising we were able to raise revenues for the Skule Planner, Skule Book as well as The Cannon. The money generated by sponsorship goes into lowering the cost of events for people that attend as well as lowering the registration cost for
the incoming flrosh.
Running these campaigns and projects would not have been successful without the help of the sponsorship committee as well as the event co-ordinators for Flrosh Week, Cannonball, Gradball and Skule Nite. I’d like to personally thank Alvin Ho, Evan Jones and Benny Tu for their hard work throughout the sponsorship campaigns
Professional Development
Taimoor Isani - ECE 0T8 + PEY
As the Professional Development Director for this year, it is my responsibility to help students develop the soft skills necessary to propel their careers. I also liaison with the Engineering Career Centre (ECC), Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO), and the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE).
Throughout the year a variety of workshops were run to help students develop their resume, cover letter, and interview skills. New this year was the Professional Speakers Series, which had speakers from different industries come in and talk to students about the opportunities available in their respective fields. Aside from the Professional Speakers Series, the U of T PEO Student Club chapter was also founded this year. The new
club allows students to become involved with the PEO before graduation, and learn more about the benefits of membership.
1 would like to thank all the people that participated and helped out at events this year and a special thanks to the staff at the OSPE, PEO and ECC, who without their support the events this year would not have been possible. Lastly, I just want to remind everyone to GET INVOLVED in as many clubs as you can, as that is the best career development you can have.

CRO
Cody MacNeil - MECH 0T8
This year has been an exciting year for elections. Two summer elections, a new online voting system, and the election of class representatives in March and April are just some of the new events that happened this year.
As the CRO, my job was to ensure all of these elections were done according to the Engineering Society Bylaws. A new online voting system has been in development since summer 2007, in hopes of replacing the old vote.skule.ca. The new system will make the creation of elections more painless for the CRO while increasing reliability of the results. The new system should be ready to be used by summer 2008 for the incoming CRO to take advantage of. This years Officer Elections also had some minor adjustments.
We started nominations February 11th, such that voting occurred one week earlier to avoid conflicting with Good Friday. This move enabled nominees an additional week (reading week) to receive nominations. Additionally, this enabled us to conduct class representative elections between March 10th and April 5th, prior to the JCM. Overall, I’m glad 1 took the opportunity to serve this year as the CRO since I was able to contribute to the future of the Engineering Society in a positive way. I encourage people who are interested in working with the Engineering Society, as well as the general student body, to run for the CRO position.
Speaker
David Clease - MECH 1T0
As speaker of the engineering society it falls under my responsibility to not only maintain order during all meetings of council and general meetings but also to have a strong understanding of the bylaws and policies that govern the society. With gavel in my hand (sometimes a horseshoe if I forget the gavel) and Roberts Rules in my head (kind of) I made sure that EngSoc was kept in line.
I used my powerful voice and rugged good looks to maintain control and ensure meetings ran smoothly. This is my second year at Skule™ and as such 1 am still learning a lot about how the society functions. 1 feel that as speaker I have learned a lot and feel that this
position has given me a solid foundation to continue to be an active member in the engineering society. 1 would like to personally thank all those that came out to meetings throughout the year whether they had to or whether they attended by choice.
Also a big thank you to Alama, Rob, Evan, Edward, Eamon, and George for helping to make sure things ran smoothly. The important thing to remember as speaker
is that like permutations order is
important!
UTEK Director
Karen On - INDY 1T0
As UTEK director, my job is to organize the annual engineering competition (termed UTEK - University of Toronto Engineering Kompetition), so that winning students can participate in the Ontario Engineering Competition. 1 would like to take this opportunity to thank my executive team for working so hard and for being patient with me.
On a similar note, thanks to all those who aren’t on my executive team, but still contribute their time and ideas to UTEK. Really, UTEK wouldn't be anything without you guys. I’d also like to thank the Alumni Office for their support, as well as various people such as my brother Edward, who happens to be my overseeing officer, for giving me advice every time I bug him at home, school, etc, as well as Patrick Mok for replying to my emails no later than an hour after I send them - 1 would be so lost without you guys.
I’d also like to thank the enthusiastic participants - you guys gave me... well, purpose. As you can tell, organizing UTEK is definitely not a one-man team, so I’m very grateful for any help/support that came my way throughout the year, whether big or small.
1 hope this year’s UTEK was as enjoyable for others as it was for me, and that all the UTEKs after this year will just get increasingly better. I would like to leave you with a piece of advice that a good friend gave me: it always looks a lot messier on the inside.
Hl-SKULE L.IASON
Kelvin Liu - ENGSCI 0T9
As Hi-Skule Liaison, I think my biggest achievement this year is getting together a kickass Hi-Skule Committee of 9 really dedicated members and an awesome vice-chair, who helped with everything from volunteer recruitment, advertisement, planning and running the actual events. From the Post Offer Reception to National Engineering Week, their ideas and energy allowed the Hi-Skule Committee to expand our presence among engineering students, and subsequently recruited a large volunteer base to help out at our outreach events to high-school students.
Through our events this year, I believe we succeeded in portraying a balanced view of Skule to prospective highschool students. Instead of just academics (surprise, life exists outside of delta-epsilon proofs), we sprinkled in some friendly group competition (because firing paper catapults at each other is so much better than dodge- ball) and invited some engineering student clubs to 'interact with the highschool students (a lot of students were surprised to hear we have everything from an engineering choir to a juggling club). We hope that the secondary school students will consider a .program/school’s extracurricular activities and social atmosphere instead
of just its academic excellence before choosing their post secondary destination. From our National Engineering Week events aimed at elementary and secondary students, we hoped that we can inspire a few young students to consider a career in engineering.
So thanks to Fiona, Andrew, Elizabeth, Austin Rophina, Ying, Jason, Anna, David, the ESROO office and most of all Jane for all your help this year. The Hi-Skule Committee wouldn’t have existed without you guys!

It was my mandate to continue the path that last years Student Issues Director, Beatrice Sze, has started. As our student body has changed and evolved during past decades the role of student issues director and its committee have became more essential.
Our successful presence in 2007 Pride Parade, our 4th consecutive year, as the only active engineering society participant in Parade across Canada, has not only signified our support for LGBTQ2S minorities it has also make us one the frontier in incorporating diversity in our factually and daily lives. Our presence in Pride Parade has not only attracted media attention to Skule, it also have earned us two awards, one given to us at City Hall this year for the biggest bang. During Past year we held a Womens Week, commemorating the Montreal Massacre and focused on raising awareness about the issues that women face in our society and engineering. We also held an international student week celebrating our diverse culture at
Yazan Kawar - CEIEM 0T9
As engineers, we have a commitment to contribute to the welfare of society, including those who are less fortunate.
The Community Outreach Committee is responsible for carrying out charity events on behalf of the Engineering Society, in order to show this commitment, and provide an outlet for engineering students to make- a small difference in the world. As Community Outreach Director, I had the opportunity to organize fun events this year.
In Flrosh Week, we rocked the streets of Toronto, raising money for the Starlight Starbright Childrens Wish Foundation, and even making it in the newpaper. We also donated food to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which goes to feeding needy families in Toronto. In October, many of us ran the CN Tower Stair Climb to raise money for United Way. The Charity Date auction and Stores Auction in Godiva Week also made money for United Way, raising over $6000. In March, we participated in Cuts for Cancer to raise money for cancer research, and hair for cancer patients. We also donated blood via blood drives.
Thanks to Julie for help with Flrosh Week and to Marcus for helping out with the CN Tower Stair Climb.
Thanks also to Nick, Henry,
Victor and Ariel, as well as the date auction participants, for all their help during Godiva Week. Finally, thanks to all others that donated time and money to these events to make sure they were successful.
Skule, while raising awareness on international issues that many people in those cultures face.
Thank you Skule for all the happy memories!
We have held many networking sessions this year to help our diverse student body meet the professionals outside, we are fortunate to live in a society with many companies with strong mandates to hire and promote diversity with their companies and firms. This year I was fortunate enough to work along Vi Lam, Women Issues Director and Sumit Sikder, International
Students Issues Director. They both did an amazing job and I was honoured to work with them in the
committee.

Cannonball Chair
Cyrene Wu - CIV 1T0
Since 1 was elected to be this year’s Cannonball Chair last year, 1 had many big ideas for Cannonball 0T8 and was extremely excited. Of course 1 was not able to pursue all of them, but in the end everything went smoothly and I’d like to think that it was a big success.
There were a couple of rough spots in the process of planning, but thanks to very special group of people, things worked out for the better and Cannonball was possible. I’d like to give a very BIG thank you to Evan Jones, VP Finance, who was a lot of help x throughout the year and also gave
continuous support. Evan, thanks for all you have done for Cannonball this year. I must say that 1 much enjoyed our many meetings, ever so slowly getting work done and laughing about almost nothing at all. Special thanks also goes to my dear friends Rossana and Stephanie Hardes for all there help with everything, the banner, decorations, tickets and etc.
I would also like to thank Ariel, Victor and his team at Engineering Stores for doing a great job selling tickets during the first term. Hurray for selling out early. I think tickets sold the fastest this year, thanks for all your help. And thanks to everyone else for your individual contributions to this years Cannonball.
It was a pleasure planning Cannonball this year and 1 hope that everyone had a wonderful time. Good luck in school.
Gradball Chair
Nini Chen - ELEC 0T7 + PEY
' rom the very first day as an engineering student at U of T, we are immersed in traditions. We go through Frosh Week and we are told that in four years, we will be able to receive our Iron Rings and celebrate the end of our undergraduate studies. This is what Grad Ball is all about. It is an annual tradition of a formal evening of dinner and dance for graduating engineering students to commemorate one of the greatest milestones we have reached.
This year, Grad Ball was in the beautiful Old Mill Inn with an elegant Black and White theme. The guests were also beautiful and
elegant. Everyone, ready to celebrate, braved snow and storms to reach the party. The speeches were short but interesting and Tahir Merali gave a touching valedictorian speech. The DJ played music we all wanted to dance to and there were amazing performances from the Engineering Stage Band, Rachel Castelmo and Mason Lau to entertain the crowd.
We had a night we would remember and one of the best reasons to celebrate: GRADUATION.

Victor Lo - ENGSC1 1T0
Another Skule year comes to a close, and what an exciting year it has been being the Finance Manager of Engineering Stores 2007- 2008. Stores has a come a long way this year with a new shiny display and merchandise, and continues to grow, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of my dear colleagues and friends:
To my co-manager Ariel, it was amazing to work with you. It is a rare opportunity and a privilege to work with someone who is so initiative, always on top of things and just damn funny... sometimes =P Remember the summer order of coveralls? That was definitely not pretty and we did not have staff at the time but we pulled through (somehow). Random lunch for us!
could have anywhere else, and I would really have been hopelessly lost without your guidance. You rock!
To my previous managers, Ian and Ketty: thanks for giving me this great opportunity, and all the best to you and the 0T8 graduates!
Of course 1 can’t forget you, the students, for your continuing support for Stores. Without you (to continuously buy faculty pad paper and report covers) we would not be here (I’m starting to feel like I’m getting an award or something).
Lastly, best of luck to the future managers of Engineering Stores!

By the time this is published, another year will have gone by and Engineering Stores will still be, hopefully, in business. Hopefully, well have introduced tons of new merchandise and services, including new womens leather jackets, new gift certificates for F!rosh birthdays, lots and lots of new club patches, shotglasses, beer mugs, hoodies, t-shirts, polos, and other things that you can wear and play with.
new ideas Stores has seen in a long time. Secondly, thanks to lan and Ketty for hiring me in the first place. Thirdly I want to thank Barb, Evan, and all the officers for providing creative input and helping me adjust to the position. Finally and most importantly, thank you to our staff: Calvin, Catherine, Emma, Sarah, Tom, Vi, Wilson, and Wmson. The store wouldn’t be nearly as much fun (or operational) as it is without the eight of you.
I really had an amazing time running Stores and I thank everyone who helped me get into the position and make Stores a better place for all students. First and foremost, the person who kept the money flowing and the place running: Victor Lo. No one can possibly say that the place can run with one manager. Aside from keeping me sane, the employees happy, and the store safe from my overly disorganized lifestyle, he came up with some of the best
Jennifer Lee - CIV 0T7+PEY & Charlsie Searle - CIV 0T8 + 1
Simply, Suds is the place you can come at the end of a long week and relax with friends new and old. But it’s also so much more, it’s an important part of Skule life. Important enough to be open every day during the two most exciting weeks of the year, to be the place where some of you will celebrate the most anticipated day of your undergrad and to be the place you’ll come back to visit once you've graduated and moved on. Hopefully we’ve made all of these events as memorable (or memory-less) as possible for all of you. With expansions to our menu, new events, a (much, much) colder fridge and the creation of Suds Man, we’ve tried our best to bring you a year of great Fridays!
A huge thank you to all of the servers who came out and helped us each week. Another huge thank you to all of you who did come every week, you make all our hard work worth it. Best of luck to next year’s managers.

Matt Kopczinski - CIV 0T9
Lookingback on my days as Ombudsman, 1 can truly see how Engineers Rule The World, because I had the pleasure of working alongside some of the most hardworking and dedicated individuals. I would like to thank each and every one of you, especially those who joined the Census Committee and devoted countless hours to produce a high quality Engineering Census. I never knew how much a group of volunteers with a central goal could accomplish and now that I do, I am absolutely astonished.
My position on council this year allowed me to deal with all facets of the society; whether it was discussing and changing society bylaws, dealing with complaints or surveying the society to gauge the effectiveness of EngSoc. While working on all of these tasks I attempted to bring a professional attitude and worked towards the goal of streamlining my job.
I believe the Ombudsman position, while still in its infancy, was able to truly take shape this year and I look forward to seeing where the position will be taken by future Ombudsmen as it matures.

Have you clone it yel? Did you beat Bowser?
If you didn’t understand the previous question you haven’t read the Publication of the Year (possibly).
The Flrosh Handbook is (in my opinion) the best position a Flrosh can have. It shows how even though we are at a university, we sLill learn so much more than academics. Secondly, it allows us to look back and remember the greatest year we just had (you all know being Flrosh was Lhe greatest year of your life). Finally, lhe Flrosh Handbook allows us to contribute to the new incoming Flrosh. All of these reasons make two months of summer in a dark, hot, stuffy room sort of worth it. Also, we got paid in food (much like the rest of the Engineering Society does).
So I would just like to say that I am extremely proud of the Flrosh Handbook since I feel that the caliber of the Flrosh is partially determined by the amazihgness of the Flrosh Handbook and I would like to hand it to the Flrosh this year for doing extremely well even though I am writing this in November.
Finally, thanks to everyone/anyone who read, helped out with, or even just heard about the Handbook. Also, good luck to next years Flrosh Handbook, may it be the best Flrosh Handbook yet.

How 10 describe this year of the Toike? Words like wonderful, memorable and dirty come to mind. 1 learned a lot about Lhings Lhat 1 either did not want to know even existed, or that are not suitable to include in the Skulebook. One of the more appropriate .things I did learn was whaL happens when a group of sleep-deprived people are in EngCom for twelve hours straight whilst putting together Lhe paper. That one was a doozy, and something I shall not soon forget (impromptu group Karaoke and late- night lessons in debauchery; who could resist?). 1 will also never forget the superbly awesome staff I had (and yes, awesome is the best word to describe them!). Whether it was Lhe seasoned old-timers who had seen it all, or fresh- faced Flrosh who were eager for experience, I really cannoL sing the praises of my staff enough. Had I been left to my own devices, the paper would have been reduced to a single page of bad knock-knock jokes. Luckily, there was a crack team of individuals ready to snap me back to reality if I dared dream of putting in a knock-knock joke. I’d like to thank them all, and 1 hope to work with them all again, except of course, under someone else’s editor-ship. It’s your problem now, sucker! No, really, it was some of the best limes I’ve ever had or ever will have.

The Cannon, the official Engineering Society newspaper, was created to deliver engineering news to the rest of campus. However, it is not merely a newsletter. Not only does The Cannon serve to inform of past and present events, but also to inspire its readers to participate in and speak about the future ones. It is a strong voice that shares the ideas and sentiments of Lhe engineering community with our fellow students and staff - both within and outside of the faculty.
This year, we were fortunate to have a number of passionate and enthusiastic contributors. These individuals communicated the goings-on both on and off campus, clubs kept the student body-up to date on their significant events and achievements, while frequent excerpts from the SkuteTM archives fueled our spirits. And of course, opinions provided food for thought. Contrary lo past years’ criticism, we did so much more than just fill up space.
As the past year comes to an end and with a new- one on the horizon, I now truly understand the honour it was to have led The Cannon - to have offered you the opportunity to convey your views to the entirety of the U of T engineering community. It does not matter whether you have written before or not; as long as you have something to say, The Cannon will help you deliver. Life is shon, so make the most of it.

Congratulations to all members of the graduating class of Chem 0T8! We are very proud of your hard work and determination. As you step out and begin the next stage in your life, 1 am confident that your education at the University of Toronto will stand you in good stead and that you are well prepared for the challenges before you.
1 am delighted to have come to know some of you well over the past few years, I have been delighted that in addition to your demanding academic schedule, many of you have been actively involved in extracurricular activities. You have proven your dedication, motivation and leadership through your participation in sports, clubs and organizations both locally and internationally. 1 would like to extend a special thanks to Chem Club and in particular to the CSChE committee in organizing the student portion of the CSChE Conference this past year. Your groups’ hard work contributes so much to the quality of life of students in our Department.
You are now alumni/ae of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry. Our Department is both rich in history and full of promise for the future. 1 encourage you to stay connected to your classmates and home Department. Send us announcements for INTERFACES magazine; get your classmates and colleagues out to the Annual Chem Dinner in March and get involved with our undergraduate students through the
Leaders of Tomorrow program. I hope that you will join us in our drive to achieve our vision: “We will be among the premier, publicly funded departments of chemical engineering in the world, educating leaders of tomorrow."
On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Department I wish you success, health and the joy of a well-rounded life with friends, family and your community.
are donated to UNICEF. Small time movie nights and soccer/basketball leagues take place through out the year.
Finally the year is rounded off with the Iron Ring Party held for the 4th year students and that includes a free bar!!! Isn’t free bar the best way to end the year!?
The Undergraduate Chemical
Engineering Council also known as the Chem Club is operated by the students of Chemical Engineering and only for the students in Chemical Engineering.
While Chemical Engineering students are wilting after the 30 hours of classes per week or Plant Design, Chem Club offers them solace in the form of various events organized for the students. The year starts of with 2 BBQ’s in front of Sanford Fleming. Even though it’s mainly for CHEM’s but CHEM CLUB loves it when others come in and praise our tasty burgers.
This is followed by the CHEM Dinner Dance which takes place as soon as the midterm season gets over. Hosted in a posh hotel, the Dinner Dance is seen as a welcome respite for the students from their daily assignments and tests. In winter the CHEM CLUB hosts a Talent show, where students from the Department show off their talent and the proceeds of the show

In 2004 the Department undertook a strategic planning process; in 2005 we began the implementation of many key initiatives that we envision will make our Department one of the best in the world by 2010. Our theme of innovation and leadership in urban engineering solutions and engineering geoscience has indeed resonated with many students who are looking for an exciting . and innovative engineering program to study. Our goal is to educate young men and women who will walk away with a better appreciation of a profession that is concerned with virtually all aspects of the urban environment and the interactions and impact between the built, natural and human environments; a profession that will help make the world a better place.
This year we focused on creating and achieving greater recognition of the outstanding faculty, students and staff in the Department. We have an awards
committee that was charged with ensuring that members of this fine Department were nominated and recognized for their exceptional work, study and achievement that is conducted daily. The Executive Committee - which essentially is the Department’s leadership committee - has worked towards excellence in the service provided to undergraduate students, graduate students, industry partners and the broader community by spearheading various initiatives that improve the experiences and interactions with these stakeholders.
We have developed a leadership development series for students that focus on enhancing skills and experience in three key areas: entrepreneurship, leadership and innovation. Our wish is to provide our students with an exceptional education and enhanced skills that will undoubtedly make them principal players in society.
We are so proud of the terrific students in this Department - they truly exemplify great Skule Spirit through their participation in various activities like the Concrete Canoe, the Toboggan, and Engineers without Borders to name but a select few examples.
Three years into my term as Chair, I am absolutely delighted and proud of the achievement and progress we have made together so far. We have made great strides in our goals and objectives. I am confident that with the help of our alumni, friends and partners we will achieve many of our aspirations.
Congratulations to the class of 0T8 - this is just one milestone in your life. As you move on in your career 1 ask you to value your education, the great friends you have made in the Department and the unique experience of Survey Camp.
Finally, I want to wish you great success and encourage you to make your impact on the world - imagine tomorrow today.

Katelyn Margerm, Club Chair
Hello All,
Firstly, Civ Club would like to thank Eng Soc, engineering staff and faculty, supporting clubs, and the student body for their hard work in supporting Civil students academically, socially, emotionally and often alcoholically these past years. The hard work of these organizers has helped make Skule a place where friendships bloom, problem sets are completed and War Craft jokes are made without fear of ostracism. While Civs, like the brother that was born a few years later than the rest of the kids and was probably an accident, receive the majority of the mockery at Skule they also feel a strong sense of love and place in the engineering family.
Civ Club has made a concerted effort this year to expand its scope and function. We have planned and executed numerous smokers, a trip to Boston, a conference on Interdisciplinary Sustainability and produced the ‘greatest improvement’ among Canadian concrete toboggan racers. We hope the years below us will continue
with these events and the students who have contributed their time and skills this year will take the experiences they have gained with them into the working world.
I’d like to quote one of our great 4th year minds in his speech to professor Grabinsky on our exiting days of survey camp and say that we may have come into the Engineering Faculty feeling ‘socially awkward’ but thanks to our four (plus) years here, we are leaving ‘awkwardly social’. Good luck in life from the Civil Engineers and please try not to crush too many people when you are all out ruling the world.

When you look back at the time of your life that this book describes 1 think that you will realize these
four things:
1 . That you were learning the basics and the applications of what historians will call the most important technologies of the 21st Century - microelectronics, energy creation and distribution, computer hardware and software, electromagnetics and photonics.
2. That you met many people who became your life-long friends and colleagues.
3, That you were challenged more than you ever had been before, (and possibly were since) but somehow managed to make it all work out.
4. You thought you were busy trying to get somewhere, on this journey through University, and the subsequent journeys. It turned out that those journeys were life itself.
I’m certain what you learned here doesn’t all yet make sense. Over time you will find that various aspects of the learning, wisdom and experience you’ve acquired will be reflected and useful in many of the experiences of your life. Most important of all, you have learned *how* to learn at this higher level, and that will carry you forward on the exciting journey of life in a newly technojogical world. On that journey, your classmates will likely play a big part. Your spirit, emboldened by the challenges you have conquered, will carry you through the even greater challenges to come. Good luck!

' ome one come all, to the amazing discipline that support for so many students throughout the department, is ECE. and she will be immensely missed by all.
This year, the ECE Club was busy working for you, the students of whom we represent. We had Daniel Altin and Ian Swartz as the Electrical and Computer Club Chairs respectively; followed by Andrew Rosslet and Alvin Ho as the Vice-Chairs, supported by William Song and Andrew Shorten as the Finance Directors; with Kelvin Yu and Leslie Leung as the club’s Social Directors. Additionally, Supakorn Komthong and Sean Lamers were the Facilities Directors, and John Matienzo as the Sports Director. Finally, our Communications Director was Sam Vafaee.
This year was a great year, with growth and progress for everyone. We had an amazing dinner dance, a very successful smoker, and to cap that all off, we managed to secure a much better common room than the one previously held. We had tons of fun at the chariot race, and were the only ones to step up to the Chili Cook-off.
As for the two common rooms, we hope that you can spend some time relaxing in the rooms, whether it be watching a movie, or playing foosball or the brand new arcade machine. We are here to provide an outlet for you when you have to take a break from studying, so hopefully we have helped in that regard.
We hope to see everyone participate as much as possible in ECE club, and will look to the younger generation to help the ECE Club grow beyond expectations. Further, our one piece of advice is that, above all, you should enjoy your time here, and should know that we are all in this together.
Thanks for such a wonderful year.
We would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to the department for their help and assistance throughout the year. Special thanks to Professor Rose and Ng for the support and guidance. We also want to congratulate Ella Lund- Thomsen on her retirement from the Undergraduate Office this year. She was a huge source of information and

It has been an honour to serve you and your class of 0T8 and 0T7+PEY as Chair of the Division of Engineering Science this past year.
As Engineering Science students, you have been immersed in a world of intellectual challenge and mutual encouragement since you arrived at Skule™. Each of
you has helped create and foster the incredible community that we call EngSci. You continually impress all of us at the University with your pursuit of excellence - both in your academic studies as well as in the arts, sports, outreach into the community, and other leadership activities. It is this energy and drive that is truly the Spirit of EngSci.
As you prepare to leave EngSci and move on into the next phase of your life and career, I hope the Spirit of EngSci will
remain with you and help in some way to enrich the rest of your journey through life and the lives of those around you.

The Engineering Science Club is a student organization driven by your fellow classmates.
Getting involved with the Club is easy and it?s a lot of fun. We organize all sorts of fun events and initiatives throughout the year from movie nights to club/pub nights to Dinner Dance to Nocturne (an annual student acoustic music, show held at Hart House) and even an annual ski trip.
The Club also helps raise student issues and voice concerns to the Division. We also put together fun events like monthly dodge ball tournaments and barbecues. On the academic side, the Club provides tutors for all of the 1st year and certain 2nd year courses for all the students to attend.
Every EngSci student is a member of the EngSci Club! There are two class representatives from each foundation year. That is, years 1 and 2. The club
Chair
also has representatives from each year?s option: Aero, Biomed, Comp, Elec, Infra, Manu, Nano, and Phys. On top of that, there is an executive committee and several event co- ordinators. All the club positions are elected by the students.
If you want to get involved with the club or have any questions, just email us at engclub@ecf.utoronto.ca or visit our web page at engsci.skule.ca.

Congratulations to the MIE Class of 0T8 (and 0T7 + PEY) for completing a challenging engineering education at one of the top universities in Canada.
Our mechanical and industrial programs are two of the top programs for academic performance in the Faculty (despite the distraction of Facebook), but our students obviously know how to work hard and play harder.
The Formula SAE Team has had another great year with a 5 th place finish at both the MichiganandUKcompetitions as well as an overall best team finish. Our indy’s showed other IE students from across Canada how awesome the city of Toronto is at the 2008 HE conference which was hosted by Ryerson. The Mech and Indy Clubs have done a wonderful job in organizing student events for this year including the ever-popular Dinner Dance. And ASME continues to provide a strong link for students and industry with great professional development programs and conferences.
of Tomorrow initiatives which helped students develop their leadership skills. Whether it was mingling with our alumni at a Networking breakfast, or learning fine dining skills at the etiquette dinner we were proud to see MIE students take on the challenge of becoming better leaders.
To Students returning next year - keep up the good work! And to those graduating - good luck in the future.

The Mech Club has had yet another fantastic year - full of fundraising, free food, Faculty meetings and folly. The Executive worked hard to pull off book swaps, locker sales, BBQs, regular web site updates and best of all - the MIE Dinner Dance. The Dinner Dance would not have been possible with out the help from the entire Mech Executive, collaboration with Indy Club and the continued support of the Department. Thanks to everyone who made MIE Dinner Dance the classiest and most talked about event yet! A big thanks to the entire Executive for working so hard and for being so patient all year! To the fourth years - congratulations and good luck in the real world! And to everyone else - it’ll be over before you know it, so take a minute to enjoy your time in engineering.

Congratulations to you, the graduating class of 0T8, on the completion of this stage of your academic journey.
You are part of a unique program of study, a program with access to the best minds in academia and industry today.
Your own journey has only just begun. While it may seem that you have already traveled far in your lives (and you have!), there are many miles to go and directions to choose. With a Mineral Engineering degree, the paths available to you are many. Some of you will choose traditional careers with Canadas [Global] booming resources industry; others will choose finance, consulting, business, or research. Others are going on to graduate school. These paths will lead you in exciting directions, but 1 hope that you will always remember your time with us fondly.
We hope that you will keep in touch with us throughout your career as so many of your colleagues do. We would love to have the opportunity to celebrate your successes and share this with up- coming classes. If spirit is
a theme, then the spirit of the class of 0T8 has been instrumental in shaping this great programme.
To our Lassonde Scholars, a special congratulations to you, as your achievement goes beyond high academic standing. The Lassonde awards reflect commitment to the mineral industry, leadership and the spirit of collaboration that is exemplified in our patron, Pierre Lassonde.
Finally, on behalf of myself, the Associate Chair Prof. John Curran, and Chief Administrative Officer Ms. Nelly Pietropaolo, WELL DONE!

Undergraduate Discipline* Club has had a busy, exciting, and successful year! We kicked off 0T7-0T8 with a BBQ/book- exchange mixer that saw a huge turnout from students, faculty, and department staff - we’ve never seen burgers disappear so fast!
The first-ever MSE Games Night was also a huge success, complete with a LAN party, board games, Wii tournaments, the classic Torstein A. Utigard Ping Pong tournament, and samosas that sold like hot cakes. The best social event of the year, however, had to be El Dinner Dance - no one does a Mexican-themed party with sombreros, a mariachi band, pinatas, a professor danceathon, AND an open bar quite like us. We’re not all play and no work, though - we also helped plan the MSE Industry Day, which connected industry

Stage Band Blue is Skule’s brand new 2ml big band jazz ensemble to accomodate the ever increasing interest in Skule Jazz. We started with a mere 3 planned shows for the year, but were invited to perform more and more! The band had a blast performing for Skule at Hallowe’en Suds, the Skule Music Concert, and the Jazz Exchange Suds. We had a rowdy crowd of Iron Ring contenders at the 100 + 365n FeO party at O’Grady’s in November, and finished the year with Skule Stage Band at Jazz@ Oscar’s.
Taking part in the first ever Engineering Music Exchange, both Skule Stage Bands went on a road trip in February to perform in Waterloo with the UW eng jazz band. For members, the group has been an excellent way to hone their jazz skills, develop improv, and most importantly to keep playing.

A lot of the skills you develop and decisions you make during your years at Skule will make a big difference in your life after graduation, and the best advice for how to get the most out of your time here comes from both those who were once in your shoes and those whose shoes you hope to fill one day. The U of T chapter of the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineers (CSChE) serves as a means for you to connect with students, professors, alumni and industry insiders in order to obtain the information and opinions you need for your academic and professional development.
CSChE started the year with the national conference in Edmonton, to which we sent almost forty students. They spent five days in October networking with professionals and academics from across Canada, learning about the latest developments in Chemical Engineering, and touring Alberta. After the conference, we’ve been organizing events to help you connect with people, like our Student-

Formula SAE Racing Team Formula SAE
The University of Toronto Formula SAE Racing Team is continuing its outstanding work for its eleventh year running. Each year, the team is required to produce a completely new formula style race car and as part of a highly involved annual design project, 95% of the components on the car are fully designed, prototyped, tested and manufactured by the students.
This international collegiate design series is organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers with the purpose of exposing engineering students to the processes required to convert their engineering ideas into a set of exciting deliverables. For this year’s 07-08 competition season, the team made numerous advancements and innovations in their design that pushed the envelope of new technology and automotive research. Following last year’s best 5th place finish at Formula SAE (attended by 140 teams worldwide in Detroit, Michigan) and a matching 5th place in the Formula Student UK competition (held at Silverstone, UK), the
team intends to return to the race track to defend UofT’s position as a world leader in engineering design and management.
On the agenda is the May competition Formula SAE, the Formula Student Germany in August, and our very own competition, the UofT Shootout held every September. As always, all UofT students are welcome to join our team year round to contribute and partake in the valuable learning experience, the success and great fun that our dynamic team has to offer, www.fsae.utoronto.ca

National Conference on Women in Engineering
Women from all across Canada gathered at the Queens University campus for the 17th annual National Conference on Women in Engineering.
The two day conference had participants involved in a series of workshops and seminars were speakers focused on showing delegates how to break through the thought that a female engineer can either have a career or a family. The speakers brought years of experience and insightful knowledge and taught the participants that every woman can be a high levelled female engineer.
The delegates also put in practice their networking skills at a dinner where they had a chance to interact with the speakers in a professional manner. The four delegates sent by U of T had a very good time and learnt about being a successful engineer and a leader aside of the commitments that women might have.
an incredible opportunity to network with industry professionals.
The highlight of the year was the annual IIE student conference. The conference is a one of a kind opportunity for students to network with Industrial Engineering Professionals, meet world-renowned speakers, and get together with IE students from Universities across Canada. The conference is held annually during the second weekend January, and is the only place where you can network, leam, party and get a job all in one place.

For the most part, when we think of engineering, mental images of first year calculus come to mind; however, for students who have gained industry experience will tell you, much of what we do depends on how we communicate our technical skills. As TI President Chris Ford told to a crowd
UTRA
University of Toronto Robotics Association
The University of Toronto Robotics Association (UTRA) is a meeting place for people who like building and designing robots. We are an undergraduate organization that provides students the resources to develop robots for fun and exciting competitions. The club is composed of U of T alumni, professors and undergraduate students from the Faculties of Applied Science & Engineering and Arts & Science.
The 2007-2008 season was an exciting one for the club. The club travelled to San Francisco, California to compete in the RoboGames Robotics competition with 2 battle-bots (30 & 120 lbs) and 1 fire-fighting robot. The robots fared well, with the battle-bots both losing out in the quarterfinals and the fire-fighting robot finishing in third place. Overall it was a very exciting competition for the club and laid the groundwork for future successes.
of engineering students on January 24, 2008 “Engineering is the Easy Part". An engineering degree can only take you so far in life, but it is how you present yourself that will give you the competitive edge.
If you are interested in joining or coming as a guest, please contact us at toastmasters@skule.ca and/or join our Facebook group “UofT Engineering Toastmasters” and found out why so many employers like Microsoft, IBM, Honeywell, Ontario Power Generation, etc., have their own clubs.
This year was also very exciting because the club was able to expand its outreach through the UTFirst Program, a high- school robotics mentorship program which has grown and built awareness of robotics within the community. The club has also started on several new projects such as autonomous soccer robots as well as a new battle -bot and fire-fighting robot which will promise to keep things exciting!
Thanks to all members and sponsors for a great year!

Korean Engineering Student Association
KESA, Korean Engineering Student Association, is a cultural engineering club run by Korean engineering students for past 26 years.
This club governs and organizes various events and services to promote the valuable experiences in university life of engineering students. KESA holds numerous annual events for students, especially for first year students, to help them enjoy their academic and social life at the University of Toronto.
The major events for students are General meetings, Orientation, Hart House Trip, Ski Trip, and Cocktail Party. These events are meant to help making network connections between first and upper year students, supporting students to survive their academic years and having fun at the same time. KESA also runs events for other students such as Math competition for high school students and Reunion for graduate & undergraduate students. KESA is a shelter for Korean Canadian Engineering students full of fun, sharing and supporting.

The University of Toronto Concrete 'Canoe Team is a multi-disciplined group of students that work together every year to complete the seemingly implausible and perhaps odd task of designing, constructing and racing a canoe made out of concrete.
This year the team’s canoe is named ’Bluenose,’ weighing approximately 100 pounds at a length of over 20 feet. The team of 24 students will all travel to Dalhousie University in Halifax to compete, after placing 5lh out of 11 teams in last year’s competition at Queen’s.
With an extremely lightweight and strong mix, a hull design chosen from millions of alternatives, and a fantastic finish, the team hopes to do even better this year. Canoe dig it?

The mission of SMTA Southern Ontario Chapter is to create .learning opportunities for networks of post secondary students to develop professional skills and the knowledge necessary to work in electronic assembly technologies and related business operations. SMTA is a professional organization with chapters located in various parts of the world, and student chapters in most of the leading universities, such as the University of Toronto.
Affiliation with the chapter entitles members to experience plant tours (to
companies such as Research in Motion, AMD/ATI, IBM, etc), networking events (student/industry mixers), employment job-boards etc. This year, the chapter hosted a plant tour to IBM where students had a chance to witness materials testing on Microsoft® XBOX360® machines under various environmental conditions. Membership, remains at a heavily subsidized $5, and is open to all students in the southern Ontario region. Next year’s focus will be on increasing the leadership positions of the chapter by four individuals, who will aid in planning even more interesting events than in the past.
Skoll Students: After four years of engineering studies, and at least one year of working experience (PEY), some of us decide to walk the path of business and management. Only the truly motivated engineers are distinguished in the Rotman School of Management as “Skoll Students”. Following is a snapshot of a couple of our engineers in the joint B.A.Sc/M.B.A program:

“Key learnings from nearly 7 years at U
of T:
1. EngSci 1st, 2nd & 3rd Year - Like an orange - tough to peel but yum- my in the inside;
2. PEY in Mississauga - It is possible to party more while working than at school;
3. 4th Year - Enlightenment - I should have switched to Indy in 1st year;
4. MEY in England - It is possible to party and travel more while work- ing than at school;
5 . Rotman School of Management - A suit is almost as fun to wear as a hard hat;
6. Exchange in Singapore - South Asia is one wild place;
7. Full time job - Strategy Consult- ing? Sounds just as vague as Engi- neering Science so why not?”
